The Journey Continues
Before we go any further let me answer some of the questions that I have received since the last two posts.
Why am I doing this?
I am doing this for two reasons. Zig Zigler and others say that the more people I help the more I will get what I want out of life. I believe that and that is what this blog is about. The other reason is that I am smart enough to know that if I help you make money on the Internet you will have move to invest in your business and sooner or later we will do business together.
Can I help you make a million dollars this year?
Of course not! I am teaching you the basic steps to building a business on the Internet. I can only teach you what I have learned. You want to go from zero to 6 or 7 thousand dollars a month I can help you. Once you get there then you can join one of the great coaching programs out there that will teach you how to increase your income even more. . If you are making that much you will have the money to join a coaching program.
This blog is about helping people who are new or newly frustrated because they are not making any money on the Internet.
This is like when I was still teaching English at a University in Texas. I did not teach the advanced English courses. I taught the beginning freshman English courses. You had to take the beginning courses to take the advanced courses. That is what this blog is about, the basic beginning part of making money on the Internet. You get through this and you can go on to the advanced courses.
How do I know what I write here works?
If you go back and read from the beginning of this blog you will find out that I have been on the Internet
making a living for years. I first started out marketing how to information back in the 1970s when we did it by direct mail and newspaper ads long before the Internet.(Yes I am not a young spring chicken I have been around this business awhile)
6 months ago even though I had a good niche Internet business I decided to see if I could build a business
using nothing but free products on the Internet. I did not use any of the contacts I had built up over the years with my niche websites or any of the tools I had accumulated. I tired to do everything as if I was just starting out using nothing but free tools.
Six months later I have built myself another income using free tools (even though they are not really free. Read the last post to find out why they are not free).
Over the last six months I have signed up for every email report, program, e-book or anything else that was free. Yes, I read or tried everything that I received or downloaded. I now have almost 6 gigs of stuff on my hard drive. Most of it is rehashed fluff but some of it is really good information.
Over the next 30 days I will tell exactly what I did and what works and why. I will also give you detailed instructions on how to use what I found. We will start at the beginning and go from there to be sure you have a good foundation for your Internet business. I will share everything I have learned over the last six months using free products and everything I have learned since I have been on the Internet.
A quick side note. When I started this experiment 6 months ago I signed up for every Guru’s newsletter
or free report I could find. In the first 30 days if I had bought everything that they sent me I would have spent $12, 849 dollars. That is right I received emails promoting $12,849 worth of products in 30 days. Each one of them was supposed to be better then sliced bread, was a secret being revealed and many told me how people got rich in a couple of months. No wonder people come on line, spend a ton of money and leave disappointed
I need to pay off my ______ in 30 days if I do what you say can I do it?
Put whatever you want in the box. I had ten emails yesterday alone with basically the same question. You want the truth? The truth depends on you. If you are making nothing right now and do not have a website that is already making you money will you be able to be making $6,000 a month 30 days from now? Not likely! Can it be done? Yes, it is possible.
This is not a get rich scam. This is work you butt off and build a business plan. It will take time and work. If you do not want to work and are not willing to be persistent and take action then there is nothing that I can do to help you. If you try to follow what I will be showing you for a week and then are going to quit then save yourself time and frustration. Thirty days from now if you do what needs to be done you will be making money.
How much work will this take?
A lot of work! There are no free lunches no matter what you are told! It doesn’t matter if you have a couple of hours a day or all day to work on this it will take time. Naturally the more time you have the quicker your business will start making you money.
If you believe that you can build a business without doing anything but pay a fee to join a program then you will not like what you read here.
Will I have to spend money to do this?
Of course you will. In the beginning you will start off paying for what you do with time instead of money.
As you start earning money you will invest back into your business. Many of the programs that you will join will have upgrades that will make your business grow faster and it will only make sense to invest in them.
Also there are people that offer paid training to help you learn faster and I will be recommending some of them to you. In the beginning for the most part you are going to start with free products and invest as you grow.
What about the places that you recommend, do they work and will they help me?
I am only going to recommend the things that I know will help you build your business. Your will not hear
from me about the next best, greatest, wonderful launch. Why? If it is brand new I have not tried it yet. If I have not tried it I will not tell you about it.
So in a nutshell this takes time and work. If you will follow each step at the end of thirty days you will be making money. Do not skip any step. Do not bypass what you do not like or think will take to much work.
For things to change you have to change. It is insanity to expect for things to change when you keep doing the same things that you have always done. If it has not been working for you there is not a magic wand to wave to make it work. You have to change what you are doing.
Action step for today!
1. If you did what was on the last post you should have a list of programs you have joined in the past. Go to each one of those programs that have a downline builder in it. A downline builder is where you put your affiliate ID in so that people who join after you will join under you.
a. At each program make sure you have filled out the downline builder. In the downline builder if there is a program you have not joined and it is a program that cost money to join do not join it yet. If the program in the downline builder is a program that you can join for free and you have not joined it do so. Go to each program and check for a downline builder and if there is one fill it out.
b. If you do not fill it out and someone joins under you then you have helped your upline build their business. If you affiliate ID is not in the program and your referral joins one of the programs in the downline builder then the referral goes to your upline not you. Over the next 30 days you will have people joining programs under you.
c. Downline Builders are a free tool take advantage of it. I know some of you have joined a ton of programs but like I said it is going to be work.
d. Do not delete any accounts at programs you joined to save work. Some of them you might get rid of later but for now just fill out the downline builders.
e. Here is a tip to help you save time. When you go to the first program with a downline builder open up a word processing document. When you go find your affiliate ID to copy and paste into the downline builder also paste it into the text document with your full affiliate URL. Make sure you put the name of the program with the URL in the text document. When you go to the next program you will not have to look up the affiliate IDs as they will be right there in the text document. After you get through save the document in your documents under a new folder named New Internet. That way the next time you get ready to fill in your affiliate ID somewhere it is easy to look up. We will be using the folder New Internet over the next 30 days. If you have any questions or do not understand these instructions email me and I will work with you to get it done. My email is up on the top left of the blog.
There are two free e-books I want you to read to start with. That way when we talk about things we will have some of the same information.
The first one is a book by Jon Olson. It talks about how to budget your money while building your business among other things. Read it and take notes. Later you will use the notes as you build your business so it is important to take notes. The e-book is called the Pizza Plan. It is free and if you do not have it yet here is the link to get it.

VERY Important!!!! Read the e-book and take notes because you will use them later
When you go get the book you will see several OTO (one time offers). Do what you would like about them. Later on if you do not take one of the OTO then I will send you back over there once you start making money to rebrand the book. By the way there are 3 OTO and I took the last one which is the cheapest OTO.
The second book is just as important. It is a book by Sunny Suggs and is about time management. You need to download it, read it and take notes. The notes you will use later on. Here is the link.

Go fill in the downline builders, read the two books and come on back and the journey will continue.

I will have to come back and read this article again. It was too long for my taste to keep my attention but I did want to comment on what you said about taking the beginner English class before taking the advanced courses.
I completely agree with you on that point. I have a blog, which is in the same vein as yours, but a little different but is going to be \"official\" on May 1st. The first thing I need to learn above all else is building traffic. You actually gave me an idea for a series of posts.
Thanks. I look forward to returning and finishing this post. Have you ever analyze the data on length of your visitors\’ stay? I always wondered if long posts discourages visitors or not. Especially when it comes to teaching. It\’s like a 45 minute class 3 days a week versus 1.5 hour class 2 days a week.
